Angus waits for her to say something, he is begging for her to say anything, but she is not. From the way that she is laughing, he knows that this is not going the way that he planned. He wanted to go further, but she is not even taking this well, so he holds back. “Diane, are you listening to me?” He takes a step closer. “Oh, I heard you already.” She chuckles. “And guess what? You are so screwed.” “Come on, diane.” He sighs. “You don't even know your mother, don't you want to at least met your brother?” “No, what I am really dying to do right now is to drive my knife down your throat.” She points at him. She walks to she door, her steps heavy and angry. Angus knows better than to go after her, it's only going to make her even more angry than she is already is. “And you know, I'm not going to tell you you're fired! But you can come to work if you have enough guts!” She dares him. “I hope the bastard paid you enough, because you will need the money to set your wife up for whe
Angus takes a cab to his in-laws house. It's been a while since he has been here, but he has been very glad that he can stay away from Matilda's toxic family. He braces himself before he walks into the compound. He meets two of the servants, cutting the grace of the big front yard and immediately they see Angus, they stop to stare at him. It's been months since he has been here, so that's the reason. “Evening.” Angus waves at them. They may raise their hands in acknowledgment. Angus walks up to the front door and rings the bell. It opens and Byron is the one who has opened the door. Angus has missed that sneer on his face. “You are here, we've been expecting you.” He widens the door. “Yeah.” Angus steps into the house. He looks around the place, nothing much has changed in the house. Normally, he would be led to the living room to wait till when Mister Moore feels like it's the right time for him to be attended to. But this time around, Byron walks past the sitting room, to
Angus leaves the house totally frustrated and fed up with the disgusting behavior of his in-laws. They treated him like rash and he endured everything just to stay with Matilda, and now they want his child gone?He has too much to worry about, why are they adding to his misery? Angus stops another taxi, he luckily finds out down the road. “Ignatius Bank.” Angus gets into the car. “Twenty bucks.” “Let's go, my friend.” Angus urges the man. The driver starts the meter and steps on the gas. Angus is still fuming. If not for Matilda's love for her family, he would have destroyed them in such a way that they would be turned into beggars. His phone rings in his pocket, interrupting the wicked thoughts that are going through his head. It's not anymore he would have expected, the call is coming from Tina, Zack's kind wife. Unlike Zack, Tina is a sweetheart, she is never mean to Angus. She travels a lot for her work, so she is rarely at the Moore family house. He is surprised that
The commotion is so much that people start to turn towards them. Why has she called the security on the man? Angus is not moved by her intimidation, he stands his ground. She is yelling words of insults at Angus, calling him a good-for-nothing poor man who walked in here demanding for a service that he can't afford. She is bent on embarrassing Angus before the security comes and throws him out. Because of the intensity of the whole thing, someone has been smart enough to inform the manager that soon, the man shows up. He turns to the receptionist and demands to know what's going on. “Samantha, what's going on?” The manager asks. “This poverty-stricken idiot walked in here and demanded to open a kiddies account, but he has no money.” She points at Angus. “I asked him to leave, but he insulted me and called me useless and brainless!” The manager angrily turns to Angus. If it had been a richly dressed fellow, he would have probably apologized to him, but Angus is wearing common
Angus makes it to his inlaws’ house, exhausted from the journey, but fulfilled that he got what he wanted. He walks towards the door with confidence, and he looks around as soon as he gets in. “Mister Moore?!” He calls out. Mister Moore descends the stairs, and his children follow right behind him. They look at him with uninterested gazes like they are sure that he wasn't able to get it done. Angus takes out the paper and opens it for all of them to see. “Wait, is that Ignatius Bank? A kiddies account?” Mrs Moore's face falls. “It can't be.” Zack gets closer and takes the paper from Angus. He puts it very close to his face, so to make sure that he is misreading it. It's indeed the famous kiddies’ account! How was Angus able to pay for this? Zack passes the paper to Byron, who then reads and passes the paper to their father. Their father takes out his glasses from his pocket and reads through them. The more he reads, the more his lips are turned in disbelief. How was this
Angus spends the next few days pampering his wife. He doesn't let Matilda do a thing, he cooks for her, helps her bathe, and makes sure that she is very well taken care of. He calls her boss, Jonathan, and makes sure that she gets a few days off. It won't be long and she won't be needing a job anymore. Yes, he still knows that he has to tell her the truth one day. He hopes it's going to be easy when that day comes. Angus doesn't expect a call from Julius, he has been away for almost a week now and he didn't call anyone to get permission. He assumed that Diane had fired him. After what he told her, he assumed that she went to tell her father the man was probably looking for him to kill. So, Angus stares at the phone in confusion before he picks it up. “Hello, Mister Julius.” He says into the found. “You have given yourself a break now, boy, haven't you?” Julius barks at the other end. Angus is stunned. Diane didn't tell anyone?!“Are you even listening to me, Angus?!” “Yes,
Angus doesn't need a soothsayer to tell him that he has been caught, Angus already knows this. But he doesn't just jump to attack El Salvador, he knows that he might not be able to survive it. Perhaps he would have a better chance if he had to take El Salvador one-on-one, but he knows that's not going to happen. There are hundreds of men in this house and El Salvador only has to click his fingers and they are going to descend on Angus. So, Angus holds his horses. He has a pregnant wife, he can't be reckless about this. He pretends to be confused, he tilts his head and squints. “Excuse me, sir? I don't understand.” Angus laughs nervously. “Why would you say that?” Angus pushes his tongue around in his mouth, there is a wicked smile on his face. “Is that what you are doing now, huh?” He laughs. “You little motherfucker, you are still going to pretend you don't know what I am talking about, huh?” El Salvador asks. Angus doesn't say anything. What is he going to say? He doesn't
Angus falls on one of his knees, the pain shooting all over his body is the worst he has experienced before. El Salvador shot him in his right thigh, and it stung like a bitch. El Salvador didn't mean to kill him because if he wanted, he would have. El Salvador doesn't miss at all. Angus knows that he is still keeping him alive because they want to get the answer from him, but he is not ready to say anything. The fact that he falls to his knees from the pain, that gives the men the chance to jump on Angus. The knife that he has been using as his weapon for protection gets snatched from his hand and his hands are immediately bound together. After they have succeeded in bounding him, two men with very fat sticks walk into the circle and stand to beat Angus repeatedly with the sticks. Angus grunts with pain and holds up his hands to cover his face, but the men are very brutal. After they have gone for almost ten minutes, El Salvador orders them to stop. Angus is covered with blo
Angus and Lorenzo walk into their car with looks of satisfaction on their faces. They finally did it, they got El Salvador's location. “I always thought that Manny was a stupid kid. Who would have known he was such a genius?” Lorenzo thinks aloud. “Remember when I told you not to kill him?” Angus looks at him. “The little man has come in handy.” They start to journey back home, but they are not as gloomy as they came…****Matilda is leaning against the wall, as she stares at Angus. They are in their baby's nursery. The place is colored with a soft blue, it's decorated warmly, and it's the coziest room in the house. Angus has the baby in his arms as he gently moves from side to side, cooing her to sleep. Matilda's serious face breaks into a smile. Angus is timid about holding his daughter, but he is learning pretty fast. Their daughter's cry has been reduced to a silent whimper, and she has started going to sleep. “Matilda, you haven't said anything.” He glances at her. “You
Joanna has been waiting for this day for a long time. It was unfortunate that she didn't get her when the raid happened at her house and she fled with her father, but she is ready to shoot her down now. They all walk into the office and shut the door, but Joanna doesn't let her guard down, she is still holding the gun, pointing it at Diane. Diane laughs and throws her hands in the air, in mockery. “Still have an attitude, I see.” “Joanna, drop the gun,” Angus says to her. “This is not the time and place, you know it.” “After what she did to me, everywhere is the place and whenever is the time.” Diane smiles as she leans against the table, she is totally not moved by the gun in her face. Lorenzo has a face as stiff as Joanna's. He wants to kill Diane as much as Joanna wants to, but he knows that Diane is Angus' sister and he respects him too much to do that. “You think you can mess with just anyone you want, huh?” Joanna draws closer.“Angus, okay, I think you need to put this b
She is not supposed to have gone into labor, she still has a few more days, and that's why Angus is taken by surprise. This is not a joke, she is squeezing her face in pain. “Argh! Jesus Christ!” She whimpers as she grabs the base of her belly. Angus rushes over to her, more confused than he has ever been in his life. She is suffering so much from the pain, that he has to sit down on the ground with her. She grabs his arm, squeezing the hell out of it as she bites down on her one hand. “Angus, it hurts!” Angus is so lost, that his brain has been wiped out. Everything has been arranged with the doctors and all, but he didn't expect her to go into labor so early. To be honest, he hasn't given himself a lecture on what to do when labor comes. He is like an unprepared student now! “Hey, baby, you are doing great.” He encourages her, even though he is nervous. “Then why does it feel like I'm fucking dying?!” She bares her teeth. “It's okay, just break okay?” Angus soothes her.
Matilda is the last person that Angus is expecting to see standing in his house. Her belly has grown since the last time he saw her, she has gotten even bigger. She has a scarf around her neck, luggage at her feet, and a bag in her hand. Angus can't move his tongue, he can't just believe the fact that Matilda is at his doorstep. After he begged and begged for her to come back with him. She sighs and looks down, like she is ashamed of being here. “Are you even going to act like you are happy to see me?” “Oh, Matilda, hi, come in.” He pulls her bag into the house, she walks in like a good guest. The head of his security comes at him, with a confused look on his face. “I'm sorry sir, we were going to turn her back, but she was angry.” The man apologizes. “Timothy said that she's your wife…” “Timothy is right, that's my wife.” Fear covers the face of the man, he can't believe that he almost turned away the wife of his boss. He would have lost his job. “I'm sorry, sir…” “You don
Angus has given this a good thought. He was going to leave her alone, but he decided against it. If there is one thing about Matilda that hasn't changed throughout the years, she can be as stubborn as a mule. If he lets her be, she is going to keep refusing to speak to him, even if it's going to break her down completely. She scoffs at his audacity to come up to her after she threatened to call the police. “Are you kidding me, Angus?” She frowns. “I am going to call the cops!”“Okay, Matilda, you can do that.” He shrugs. “Even if they arrest me, I'm going to just keep coming back, and guess who is going to get tired first?” She glares at him, squeezing her lips together. “You think you can bully me into forgiving you?” She puffs. “You think I'm going to fall for that?” Angus sighs, it seems that her stubbornness has increased over the months. “Look, Matilda, I've been getting your hospital reports.” He says. “Your doctor has advised that you are to be monitored as your date ge
If she knows everything, if she has her full memory back, that means that there is nothing that Angus can do or say that is going to change her mind now. He has a long face, she is staring at him with her lower lip between her teeth. “Yeah, I know it all.” She lets out a painful chuckle. “I know that you worked for me, I know that I had a crazy fiance and I know that you killed him!” “Matilda….” “Oh, I sure as hell know that you are not seriously trying to speak now!” She silences him. “After all you have done?! Are you even serious?!” Angus looks down, running his hand through his face. Everything has crumbled to the ground, he knows that she is not going to forgive him. Can he even ask for her forgiveness? She walks around, looking at him with so much raging hate that she wants to punch his face. “You abandoned me when Greg fucking shot me!” She screams. “What kind of psycho are you?!” “Matilda, you don't understand!” He tells her. “Did you realize that everyone around me w
The meeting has commenced, and the chapel is so filled up that some people have to be outside. They are singing hymns and the words are so emotional that Jade finds herself crying even when she says that she doesn't want to. Bryon hugs her close to himself and wipes her tears. Matilda is sitting right behind them, she puts her hand on Jade's shoulder so that she will know that she is not alone. After singing about two hymns, everyone sits back down. The Chaplin goes on to say a few words to everyone. He thanks Jade for choosing to honor her father in their small town and he says some words of encouragement to everyone. He reads out of the Bible and after twenty minutes, he leaves the stage as the organist plays on. Jade takes out a paper that she put in her pocket, she has written down everything that she wants to speak on. She walks to the stage with Byron. He stands by her side, offering her support as she looks up at the hall. It's filled up with staring people. She places
Owens Daniels’ death anniversary is holding this weekend, Jade insisted that it's going to hold even though she hasn't still really gotten over her father's death. She has taken over his companies, and she has hired some people to run the companies for her, but she has gone back to school to get her law degree. Her father tried to get her to be serious with school when he was alive, but she wasn't just cut out for it – so she thought– but now she has gone back to honor her father. She is going to take over his firm and businesses once she is done with school. They are going to be holding a candle session in honor of him, and also a short service in the town’s chapel. It's supposed to be a small event, but almost fifty dignitaries have flown in for the service. Her shoulders droop as she hangs up the phone after another call. She looks happy, but her eyes are sad. It's a bittersweet experience for her. “They are all here for my dad.” She smiles at Byron, her husband. “They are
Angus just gets out of the car around midnight. It's another exhausting day for him, but that's what it takes to be the world's only trillionaire. Lorenzo is at the door with him, the rest of the guards are going to take turns outside. Angus is undoing his tie as they walk into the house. It's a mansion situated away from any neighbors that will cost him his peace. The house was bought from one of the rich men in the country, he could not turn Angus around when Angus approached him. The interior of the house is speaking of so much wealth, Angus has gotten his eye for art from his grandfather, he made sure the house showed that. There is a chef in the kitchen, the place is full of different aromas of expensive food. She bows to Angus as soon as she sees him. “Good day, sir.” Angus looks at the dining table, it's filled with so much food that there is not one space left. “What's for dinner?” Angus asks as he takes off his jacket. “Pastamore with some creamy tomato sauce.
